codejunkie99 X Article Hooks
Read the article or supplied summary. Identify its concrete value, audience, and evidence. Preserve a requested opener such as “give this to your agent.” Do not replace a hook request with a long article or a research project.
Use a few short lines: hook, specific payoff, and a fitting next action. A number of steps should match the actual guide. Do not import the creator's audience metrics into someone else's caption. Avoid invented urgency, unsupported revenue claims, and guaranteed virality.
For the creator's default voice, use lowercase, direct wording, a concrete promise, and natural line breaks. Ellipses are optional. Avoid em dashes, filler, and excessive hype. Choose a personal-authority opener only when the author supplied the relevant experience.
For quote posts, check that the quoted source actually supports the connection. If using video, use the relevant transcript or timestamp when available; do not invent what a speaker said. Treat hooks from other accounts as structural references, not evidence for your own claims.
If a character limit is given, count the final string including line breaks. Return copy ready to paste, with no template or checker commentary unless requested.
